Jewish Education for Generations (JEFG) is a pioneering community association comprised of Northern New Jersey day schools, rabbinic leaders, and communal and national organizations that are collaborating to address the issue of Jewish day school affordability.

JEFG has three main goals:

Revise the current day school economic model by engaging the broader community

Achieve greater quality and efficiency by implementing creative solutions and sharing best practices across the network of schools

Identify and secure all available sources of private and public funding.

By working together we hope to generate breakthrough ideas that are catalysts for change, so that now – and into the future – every child in Bergen County can have access to high quality Jewish education.
